Message from the Conductor
Whenever you come to a Voices concert, great composers and lively music await you! This year’s program touches down
with French composers Duruflé, Saint-Saëns, and Charpentier. Then we cover the German, Austrian, and English fronts
with selections by Bach, Mozart, Purcell, and McCartney. Yes, that famous British quartet called the Beatles produced a
composer with cross-over ambitions, from pop star to modern composer writing for orchestra, chorus, children’s choir,
and soprano soloist. We’re excited about performing Sir Paul McCartney’s oratorio called Ecce Cor Meum. It’s a beautiful
mix of the spiritual and sensual, and it’s all about love.
Voices is committed to the presentation of modern music, the works of living composers, alongside the choral
masterpieces of days gone by. Our chorus has invited a number of composers to North Carolina for brief residencies
and we are grateful for these collaborations and the inspiration that comes from witnessing a composer’s creativity and
passion for music firsthand.
Our ensemble Cantari has expanded its concerts this season from two to three. Catch them performing at any of the three
venues: Chapel of the Cross, Hill Hall Auditorium, or The ArtsCenter in Carrboro. Also, our Cantari men are performing
at the ArtsCenter in seven December performances of “All Is Calm”, a moving drama about the Christmas truce of 1914.
Written by Peter Rothstein for three actors and an a cappella men’s chorus, the ArtsCenter’s production is the southeast
regional premiere of this play.
I want to thank you for supporting Voices and our ensemble Cantari as we explore the riches of choral music from all
parts of the world. Make sure to put our concerts on your calendar and we look forward to seeing you at the next one!

Lest your noise should waken Jesus. Hush! Hush!
Bring a torch, Jeannette Isabella!
Bring a torch, to the cradle run.
It is Jesus, good folk of the village,
Christ is born and Mary’s calling, Ah! Ah!
See how fast He slumbers, Hush! Hush!
See how fast He sleeps.
Softly, softly, softly, softly,
Look an’ see how charming is Jesus,
See how He smiles, with cheeks so rosy. Hush! Hush!
See how the Child is sleeping.
Hush! Hush! See how He smiles in dreams.
Beautiful is the mother! Ah! Ah!
Beautiful is the Child.

It is wrong to talk so loud.

Worldly kings came far to gaze upon his face.
They brought richest gifts to this most humble place.
Gifts for the child who lay there in the stall.
He is Christ the Savior come to save us all.
Sing out with joy to see the little child,
In a lowly manger by his mother mild.
Noel, noel, noel, noel, noel!
Pum, pum, pum, pum...
Now let us pay homage to the heav’nly King.
Sound your praises loudly, let your hearts sing.
When the star shone brightly over Bethlehem,
Angels gave the tidings of the hope of men.
Who will heed His message of love?
It’s the rarest gift from our Lord above.

Shepherds came near and found a scene of joy;
For their blessed Savior was this baby boy.

2. “Et pastores”
There were shepherds at night in that same country,
Abiding in the fields,
And silently keeping their watch by night
Over the sleeping flocks around them.
And lo! An angel of the Lord appear’d,
Standing there beside them:
And the glory of the Lord shone round about them,
And they were sore afraid at his coming.
And unto them the angel said:
Fear not, oh ye shepherds, fear not oh ye shepherds!
For, behold I bring unto you
Good tidings of great joy,
Which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born today a Savior Christ, the Lord,
In the city of David.
And this shall the sign be: Ye shall find the babe
Wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger low.
And suddenly there was with the angel
A great multitude of the heav’nly host
Praising God, praising God, and saying:
Glory be unto God in the highest!
And on earth peace, peace be on earth,
Goodwill unto all men.
Glory be unto God in the highest! Praise the Lord our God!
And on earth peace, goodwill to all men.

Program Notes
Marc-Antoine Charpentier, prolific composer of the late seventeenth century, was born in Paris and, after a few
years studying with Giacomo Carissimi in Rome, spent his musical career in France. First serving as maître de
chapelle to the Dauphin, a position he lost due to opposition by Lully, he then accepted the position of maître
de chapelle of the Jesuit collegial church and monastery. Later he served as maître de musique at the SainteChapelle in Paris. Charpentier composed 16 operas and many volumes of sacred music including twelve masses,
over two hundred motets and a Te Deum. The Messe de Minuit Pour Noël was written in 1690 for the Jesuit church
of St. Louis in Paris. In France, noëls figured prominently in organ repertoire; however Charpentier’s use of these
carols as the basis for an entire mass setting was unique. Scored for soloists, four-part chorus, flutes, strings, and
organ, the mass includes original music and large sections based on the carols. This mass for Christmas derives
much of its charm from the folklike simplicity and tunefulness of the French noëls.
Camille Saint-Saëns held a very important position in French music. Born in Paris, he became an organist of
great distinction, a prolific composer and conductor of his own works nearly until the end of his life. Saint-Saëns
was considered a traditionalist and was often
outspoken in his opposition to modern music.
His complete list of works include 13 operas,
3 symphonies, numerous orchestral suites
including his best-known work “The Carnival
of the Animals”, 5 piano concertos (all first
performed by Saint-Saëns), 3 violin concertos, 2
In Memory of
cello concertos, and Africa – a fantasy for piano
The Rt. Rev.
and orchestra. He composed chamber music,
Roger White
piano works, and music for chorus. He also wrote
music criticism, which included a collection of
essays chiefly on Wagner. Harold Smither, writing
about Saint-Saëns in his monumental work A
History of the Oratorio, volume 4,
mentions the composer’s respect for
early music in the French tradition
which, “led him to publish editions of
French works from the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries and to
incorporate early dance forms and
styles into his own compositions.”

Saint-Saëns’ Christmas Oratorio was
written in just twelve days during the
time he served as organist at L’église
Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in Paris and
was premiered there on Christmas
1858. It is scored for five soloists,
chorus, strings, harp, and organ.
The beautiful solos alternate with
solid choral writing throughout. The
soloists represent various characters
in the nativity story such as a
narrator, an angel, and a shepherd.
The final chorus is a hymn of praise
for all creation.

But here in my music I show you my heart
Human nature, our true nature
Love at peace with nature
Human nature, human nature
When in the future we are apart
Music will show you my heart
Therefore every one of us
Has to find a strong foundation for a love
Help us find a strong foundation for a love
In the future we may be apart
Here in my music I show you my heart
Although life sometimes is hard
We still pull through
Without truth false shades nothing else remains
But still we are able to pull through
Even though we may have nothing else
Nothing ever remains
And then our feelings are threatened
Unless we can pull through
To the opposite side
Nothing else remains
Ecce Cor Meum, show you my heart
Music will show you my heart
Truth is only reality
Nature truly is what we are
Peace is only nature at rest
Love is our true nature, love is all
Truth and nature bring us peace and love
Love is our true nature, love is all

Program Notes
Missa Brevis – Written when Mozart was 18 years old, Missa Brevis in F, K. 192, is an exuberant, short mass.
Four soloists each have lyrical lines that emerge from within the choral settings rather than as separate arias
or ensemble movements. Although Mozart employs a homophonic style for much of this composition, the
opening movement, Kyrie, is fugal. The Credo uses a 4- note motif throughout (1-2-4-3). Telescoping of text is
present in the Credo and the Gloria, a technique that allows more than one piece of text to be sung at a time,
thus covering the “wordy” sections much faster.
A Tribute to the Beatles – Many arrangers have created choral settings of the tunes made popular during
the heyday of the remarkable band called the Beatles. Possibly the most influential rock band of all times, the
Beatles created compositions that earned a revered place in music history. Professional choral groups such as
Chanticleer, the King’s Singers, and the Swingle Singers have recorded entire CDs of Beatles arrangements in
many different styles. Cantari will sing a few of these arrangements for you tonight.
Ecce Cor Meum – Though admired first as a singer, guitarist, and composer for the Beatles, Paul McCartney
continued to broaden his creative horizons. In addition to his more recent accomplishments with Wings and his
prolific solo career, he has added a new title: classical music composer.
Ecce Cor Meum, a work composed in the style of sacred English choral music, includes chorus, orchestra, organ,
children’s choir, and soprano soloist. Written
shortly after the death of McCartney’s wife
Linda, the text is all about love. Spiritual
and also sensual, the music unfolds from a
simple prayer, “Spiritus, lead us to love.” The
choral writing, though largely homophonic,
is interspersed with counterpoint, brief
choral interludes from the children’s choir,
and extended soprano solos. Later, the
prayer reaches out to “Musica,” praying for
an infusion of joy and wisdom. But the true
personal revelation in the composition
occurs half-way through, in movement
three, when the composer writes, “Behold
this heart of mine.”
How is it that a guitarist/singer/song writer
acquires the skills to write a classicallyinspired oratorio? Mr. McCartney claims that
his faith in a benevolent spirit guides him,
“It lives in the words and music of Ecce Cor
Meum. Whatever I do you’ll be able to see
me in it, whether I like it or not. It’s a very
mystical process.”
The world premiere of Ecce Cor Meum was
performed in London’s Royal Albert Hall on
November 3, 2006. And on November 14,
2006, the US premiere took place in Carnegie
Hall, New York. Gavin Greenaway conducted
both performances.
In collaboration with the Carnegie Hall
performance, NPR’s Fred Child and WNYC’s
John Schaefer broadcasted interview with Sir
Paul McCartney will play during intermission.

Komm, Jesu, komm, mein Leib ist müde,

Come, Jesus, come, my body is weary,
my strength fails more and more.
I long for your peace.
The bitter way becomes too hard for me.
Komm, ich will mich dir ergeben;
du bist der rechte Weg,
die Wahrheit und das Leben.
Come! I will surrender to you:
you are the right way,
the truth, and life.
Drum schließ ich mich in deine Hände

Er soll bei seinem Schöpfer schweben,
weil Jesus ist und bleibet
der wahre Weg zum Leben.
So I give myself into your hands
and say “World, have a good night.”

Henry Purcell
I was glad when they said unto me: We will go into the house of the Lord.
Our feet shall stand in thy gates: O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built as a city: that is at unity in itself.
For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord:
to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord.
For there is the seat of judgement: even the seat of the house of David.
O pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls: and plenteousness within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions' sakes: I will wish thee prosperity.
Yea, because of the house of the Lord our God: I will seek to do thee good.
Hear My Prayer
Purcell
Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my crying come unto thee.
Rejoice in the Lord Alway
Purcell
Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say rejoice.
Let your moderation be known unto all men.
The Lord is at hand.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing
by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

CANTARI WINTER
Program Notes
Bach motet “Komm, Jesu, Komm” was composed in Leipzig sometime between 1723
and 1735 for an unknown occasion. Two SATB choirs assume equal roles in the music
making. The text by Paul Thymich, which first appeared in the Leipziger Gesangbuch of
1697, is reduced to two stanzas. Bach uses the first and final stanza of the text in which
the biblical quotation “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” is prominent. The music
begins with the choirs beckoning Christ to come. Each choir calls individually, “komm,”
and then a collective call is offered. This calling is further emphasized by the placement
of rests after the word “come,” as if the singers are awaiting an answer. The strong
chordal opening of the motet is the first of many significant word images. For example,
as the text embodies the “bitter way of life,” the musical intervals of an upward second
and a descending diminished seventh are used. This dissonant and difficult melodic
contour aligns with the “bitter way of life” text. The music is divided into three sections delineated by change
of meter and character. The motet opens in 3/2, with predominantly homophonic writing, slow note values and
a confession of weariness with life. The middle section, in 4/4 time, is at once more lively, filled with imitation,
quicker note values and a more hopeful outlook on the spiritual pilgrimage towards salvation through Christ.
The third section, in 3/4 time, is a chorale setting which all Lutherans would recognize, an affirmation of trust in
God and eternal life.
There’s no place like home.

Purcell’s sacred anthems were written between 1680 and 1685 and fall into two
categories: full anthem and verse anthem. Both types of anthems were sung in English,
unlike the older motet style, which was sung in Latin. The full anthem employs the entire
chorus throughout and is sung unaccompanied. Two examples are given in this concert.
“I Was Glad,” written in 1685, is a full anthem composed in five parts (SSATB) for the
coronation of James II. This jubilant, energetic setting is based on Psalm 122.
Scored for eight-part choir, Purcell’s setting of “Hear my Prayer, O Lord,” marries a woeful,
plaintive text with a slow and solemn progression of imitative entries. The two-note
descending slur pattern, frequent dissonances between parts, and melismas on the
word “crying” all suggest lamentation. This anthem was probably written in 1682, and is
based on Psalm 102:1.
The verse anthem alternates solo voices with the full chorus. Accompaniment is provided by organ, by string
instruments, or both. The solo voices may ornament their parts for expressive purposes, while the full chorus
sections provide contrast in numbers and volume. “Rejoice in the Lord Alway” is sometimes referred to as a
symphony anthem due to its inclusion of string instruments and organ with the solo and choral sections.

CANTARI WINTER
“Jesu, Meine Freude,” composed in 1723 at the beginning of Bach’s tenure at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig,
was probably a funeral tribute to a prominent parishioner. The motet displays a highly symmetrical structure
that alternates settings of a chorale with scripture verses. The chorale tune by Johann Crüger and the texts
by Johann Frank are both utilized throughout. The scripture is taken from Romans 8. The chorale-based
movements (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) praise the gifts of Christ while the scripture-based movements (2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
proclaim Christ’s determination to free men from sin and death. Musically, Bach uses an impressive array of
forms and compositional techniques including: cantus firmus, chorale, chorale variations, fugue, double fugue,
trio sonata, and solo. The vocal parts range from solo and duet writing to 5-part textures. These textual contrasts
from one movement to the next are part of the genius of this motet and contribute to its popularity as one of
the most frequently performed yet most difficult of the six Bach motets.

What the hammer? What the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burned the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? And what dread feet?
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Program Notes
Benedictine Abbess Hildegard von Bingen was a woman who could be a successful
university president in present times. Writer, composer, philosopher, mystic and
visionary, she produced many volumes of theology and was respected by the male
hierarchy that surrounded her. Anonymous 4, a renowned a cappella women’s
ensemble, has championed her music and introduced this German plainchant
tradition to the concert stage and recording studio. The Cantari women will perform
this selection in procession.
Famous 16th century Spanish composer, Tomás Luis de Victoria, wrote exclusively
sacred works. A contemporary of Palestrina and Lasso, Victoria is sometimes called
the Spanish Palestrina. The beautiful motet “Ave Maris Stella,” praises the Virgin Mary
and is divided into seven sections. All odd numbered sections are performed in
plainchant. The even numbered sections are sung in four-part harmony.
Minneapolis composer Carol Barnett served as composer-in-residence with the Dale
Warland Singers from 1992-2001. These two spirituals are dedicated to that group
and demonstrate the depth of emotions running through American spirituals. These
two songs speak about heaven with very different sentiments. Ms. Barnett uses a
slow swing style for “Swing Low” and a joyous, high spirited approach for “By and
By.” “Steal Away,” another heaven-themed spiritual, was arranged for the male vocal
ensemble Chanticleer by Joseph Jennings. This spiritual has its emotional ups and
downs all tucked into one arrangement. “My Lord He calls me by the thunder,” sung
by a baritone soloist, leads to a fanfare of voices imitating God’s heavenly trumpets.
In the final moments, an alto soloist offers a rhapsodic sigh that turns things around,
and once again it is time to quietly reflect on the brevity of life.
Carol Barnett
British composer John Tavener has taken a poem about a tiger by William Blake and
given it intimidator stature in music. The dynamic contour of the piece suggests
that the tiger advances stealthily. An ever-present undercurrent, provided by a lowpitched drone, is an ill-boding reminder of the large cat’s power and fierceness.
Canadian composer Stephen Chatman composed this short piece as part of a set
called “Due North.” No texts are needed, but the insects are understood to be present.
Eric Whitacre, born in Reno, Nevada, is an American Grammy award winning
composer and conductor. His love of choral music, piano keyboard technique, and
his wit are all-evident in these delightful, short pieces based on poetry by Ogden
Nash.

Message from the President
Dear Friends:
In our 32nd season, Voices and Cantari will continue to bring the world’s best music right here to your backyard -- in new
and exciting ways.
You might not think of Beatles’ star Paul McCartney and classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the same
breath. But this year, Voices will perform both men’s work in the same night, on the same stage. This exciting concert is
part of our commitment to featuring the works of living composers, thanks to a generous endowment from the Chicurel
family for that purpose. Last year, this endowment allowed us to host Stephen Chatman, Canada’s most distinguished
composer, as an artist in residence while we performed two concerts of his works. This year, “Mozart Meets McCartney”
continues to honor music from the pages of history while celebrating our passion for modern-day composers.
We have also expanded our collaboration within the broader arts community. This year our singers will be accompanied
by some of the area’s most talented musicians on harp, strings, flute, percussion and organ. The UNC Baroque Ensemble
will perform with us, and we will perform at both The ArtsCenter in Carrboro and the Jupiter Ball, a benefit gala for
Morehead Planetarium and Science Center that supports science education for North Carolina schoolchildren. These
opportunities offer our audiences the full breadth of musical experience, and help confirm our choirs’ rightful place in
the larger musical community.
In a final thought – these are challenging times for all arts groups. Our concert ticket prices never cover the full cost to
produce world-class music. So if you are inspired, moved or uplifted by the music you hear, please continue to support
our performances. Come out to hear us. Come sing with us. Make a donation. And tell your family, friends and colleagues
about us.
Thanks for all you do to support arts in our community -- and to keep us singing!

Florence Peacock : A Patron, Advocate and Unparalleled Talent
Looking at a map of the world, you would be hard-pressed to find a continent that Florence
Peacock hasn’t visited, performed in or assisted through fundraising efforts and programs. Her
spirit, talent and generosity have touched those who share her love for music, education and
serving those in need.
Peacock, a native of Covington, Ga., performed her first recital at the age of three when she sang
“My Country ‘tis of Thee.” Music has always been a part of her life with a mother who studied
piano and voice and a grandmother who played the organ at church from age 12 to 80. Her
father diligently encouraged her when she sang for him each day.
Peacock studied piano for years, practicing before going to school. She formally began her
training in voice at Hollins College and continued to earn her Master of Music degree at Yale.
While at Yale, Peacock performed in the drama school’s musical theater productions. She went
on to marry anthropologist James Peacock and accompanied him to Indonesia where she studied Javanese Gamelan
and Javanese singing and dance.
Peacock has performed as a soloist in oratorio, recitals and opera throughout the US, Canada, Japan, Indonesia, England
and Russia. She is a frequent soloist a the Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute and has performed at the FranzSchubert Institute in Austria where she worked with world-renowned artists Elly Ameling, Hans Hotter and others.
Peacock’s performance of Stephen Foster songs was also aired on NPR’s “Performance Today.”
Peacock is dedicated to sharing her love of music. She has served on the boards of the North Carolina Opera, North
Carolina Symphony, Carolina Performing Arts, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center Advisory Board, North Carolina
Botanical Garden, University Women’s Club, Preservation Society of Chapel Hill and TABLE. She has also assisted Early
Music Network, Chapel Hill Messiah Sing, International Affairs Council and helped form Aliénor, an organization that
promotes new music for harpsichord through concerts, commissions and a competition.
Peacock and her husband host and support numerous events in the community to raise money for organizations
committed to promoting music and the arts. They created the Carolina for Kibera James and Florence Peacock Fellowship
for Undergraduates at UNC-Chapel Hill. The fellowship offers students the opportunity to apply their skills and talents
to projects and programs that are implemented in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya. Whether the Peacocks are helping
raise funds or awareness here or abroad, their commitment to music, the arts and education are recognized, appreciated
and celebrated.
Voices would like to sincerely thank the Peacocks for their long-standing support and generosity. Their support allows
the chorus to fulfill its mission to foster and share the art and joy of choral music, enriching and educating the community
through engaging performances of music from diverse cultural and historical periods.
A Family’s Love of the Arts Creates Fund for the Enrichment of Choral Music
The Joel J. Carter and Eleanor Cely Carter Fund for the Enrichment of Choral Music embodies
everything the Carters worked for throughout their lives: community education through
new music, composer lectures, and the commission of new music. The Carter’s children and
grandchildren recently established a fund through Voices, a choral group the Carters helped
found over 30 years ago that supports new music, composers, community outreach, and music
education.
In the 54 years Joel and Eleanor Carter spent together, they tirelessly shared their passion for the
arts with their family and community. Their legacy lives on today through their philanthropic
work, the many music groups they founded, and family who continues to support the arts.
Eleanor’s love of the arts and community was evident throughout her life. She graduated from
Mary Baldwin College with a degree in Drama and Communication. She served as field director
for the Girl Scouts and business manager and actor at the Flat Rock Playhouse. She ran a school of speech in Greenville,
SC and had a radio talk show where she interviewed soldiers during World War II. She met her husband, Joel, while
interviewing his friend for the radio show. Joel and Eleanor exchanged letters throughout his deployment in the Pacific.
In 1945, Joel was discharged as a master sergeant and war hero. He was awarded five battle ribbons and a Bronze Star.
Upon his return, they were married.
Like Eleanor, Joel was passionate about the arts. He received a bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance from San Jose
State College and Masters of Arts and PhD from Stanford University. At Stanford, Joel worked as a music instructor,
director of the chapel choir and men’s glee club, and was a baritone soloist for the Intimate Opera Company.
44
In 1949, Joel became an assistant professor of music and director of choral organizations at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. He went on to become the Chair of Instruction of Voice, Director of Music Education, faculty advisor
for the general college and Phi Mu Alpha fraternity. During his tenure at UNC, he directed the annual opera, founded the
UNC Opera Workshop, and directed the men’s glee club before his retirement in 1978. Joel was an accomplished concert
soloist and oratorio performer in productions across North Carolina. He was a National Vice President of the Association
of Teachers of Singing, a founding member of the National Opera Association (NOA), promoted the NOA’s Singer of the
Year Award and Tour, contributed to professional journals, was a 50 year member of the Chapel Hill Rotary Club, and
created student study guilds for operatic male choruses. In 1990, Joel was honored as North Carolina State’ Outstanding
Community Volunteer for his work with libraries narrating books for the blind and physically handicapped.
Together, the Carters were an unshakable team who helped found the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Community Chorus (now
Voices) in 1981, the community-based recreational “Village Orchestra” (now the Chapel Hill Philharmonia) in early 1983,
helped found Music for Children in Chapel Hill, and were founding supporters and board members of The ArtsCenter in
Carrboro, NC. Joel and Eleanor were also involved in the University Presbyterian Church as the choir director and singer
for over 50 years.
In addition to the many organizations they helped found, Joel and Eleanor’s true legacy is their family: their children
Cely, Chris, Catharine and grandchildren. Today, the Carter’s daughter Cely, her husband William Chicurel, grandson
Mathew Chicurel, granddaughter Miriam Chicurel-Bayard and her husband Dustin Chicurel-Bayard have created the
Joel J. Carter and Eleanor Cely Carter Fund for the Enrichment of Choral Music.
Loving the Arts: A Hereditary Trait
As dedicated parents, Joel J. and Eleanor Cely Carter nurtured the creativity and talents of their children Cely, Catharine and Chris. They instilled in their children a passion for the arts, love of family, and an emphasis on the importance of community.
Joel and Eleanor’s daughter, Cely, remembers singing in harmony on family trips.
She recalls her father bringing his kids to his lectures to demonstrate methods for
teaching music to children. Joel and Eleanor encouraged Cely to pursue her passion for art and design. She studied pottery and weaving at East Tennessee State
University, completed further study at Penland and Arrowmont Schools of Arts
and Crafts, and received a Masters in Christian Ministry (MCM) from Duke Divinity
School. Inspired by her parents, she founded Cely’s House, where she combined her love of teaching with her artistic
abilities in pottery. She has held her own Summer Arts Experience Day Camp for over 20 years and has started an after
school arts program where she teaches and mentors children in both academic and creative areas.
William received a degree in zoology from UNC Chapel Hill, and a master’s degree in composition under Roger Hannay.
While at UNC, he joined Phi Mu Alpha fraternity where Joel Carter was the fraternity’s faculty advisor. Joel and Eleanor
eventually set William up on a blind date with their daughter, Cely. They are still happily married.
William and Cely have carried on Joel and Eleanor’s philanthropic ideals and supported Habitat for Humanity, The Arts
Center and Voices. Like Joel Carter, William Chicurel directed the Orange United Methodist Church for 17 years, sang in
Voices for five years under the direction of Chip Stam, and taught piano out of their home. In 2012, they established The
Joel J. Carter and Eleanor Cely Carter Fund for the Enrichment of Choral Music.
The Chicurels continue to share the family’s love of music and community with their children Matthew Chicurel and
Miriam Chicurel-Bayard. Like his mother Cely, Matthew combined a love of teaching with his love of the arts. Matthew
attended the North Carolina School of the Arts and received a Master’s Degree from Mannes College at The New School
of Music in New York. He is a teacher and director of the Strings and Orchestral Studies program at the Emerson Waldorf
School and trains music students privately. Matthew is a concert violist and has played with the Chamber Orchestra of
the Triangle, Carolina Chamber Symphony and many other groups. Matthew is also conducts Piedmont Youth Orchestra
and serves as Vice President of Music for Children, an organization founded by his grandfather, Dr. Joel J. Carter.
Miriam received a Bachelor’s of Science from Guilford College and a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing at UNC Chapel Hill.
She currently works as clinical research nurse at UNC’s School of Medicine. Miriam, like her mother, is an artist in Carrboro, NC. She creates and sells jewelry at her shop, BugDesigns. Miriam also sings in the band Mary Johnson Rockers
and the Spark. Her husband, Dustin Chicurel-Bayard, is the communications director for the North Carolina Chapter of
the Sierra Club.
Voices thanks the Chicurel family for their support throughout the years, and is honored to have been chosen to carry on
the Carter legacy of community music education through the Joel J. Carter and Eleanor Cely Carter Fund for the Enrichment of Choral Music.
